Finally - a not only-nice girl! After all, the only nice ones don’t get rich and they definitely don’t get the corner office.
It was a thrill to have Lois Frankel join me for a conversation on Meet the Macs. Lois, an ex-therapist, is an executive coach, an author, an evocative thinker, and the founder of the MOSTE and Bloom Again Foundations. Our time together was far too brief but was replete with recognition and powerful insights.
Why don’t women speak up or stand out? What’s so important about being polite? We discussed these limitations - the ones we place on ourselves – along with women’s tendency to use far too many words. Why do we do this? Do we really think we have to explain? And how can we communicate better? Lois navigates this “thin pink line” with aplomb, with handholds for when to stop. She clarifies how headline communication can help us get our messages across. Number, sort, categorize, be more structured. Combining eastern face-saving and western assertive approaches, she sketches a brilliant rejoinder to all those condescending mansplainers out there (you know who you are) who interrupt and appropriate ideas.
Want to learn how to have a difficult conversation? It’s easier than you think. Just press “play” and join us!
